About The Book

The Hardy brothers ( Joe and Frank) are helping their father solve a case. Mr. and Mrs. Applegate's house has been stolen. Mr. and Mrs. Applegate suspect Mr. Robinson as the culprit. Mr. Robinson's son Perry Robinson was a very close friend to the Hardy's. The Hardys' knew that Mr. Robinson had not robbed the house. Mr. and Mrs. Applegate suspected Mr. Robinson because he was a very poor man and he had deposited $ 900 the day after the robbery. He would not tell how he had not got the money because he had promised not to tell anyone. The Hardy Brother's first suspect was a man with a wig. He had stolen a car from the Hardys' friend, Chet Morton. The kept on investigating but they kept on coming to dead ends. One day Fenton Hardy caught the man with the wig. His name was Jackley. He had just met with a train accident. He confessed the crime once he was told that he was going to die. He told that he had hidden the stolen goods in the first tower. There were two towers in Mr. and Mrs. Applegate's mansion. They checked the first one but the stolen goods were not there. They then checked the second tower also. The stolen goods were not there also. Then it occured to them that Jackley was a worker at the railway station and the stolen goods might be hidden there. They checked the tower there and sure enough the stolen goods were there. They immediately reported to their father. They then went to Mr. and Mrs. Applegate. They were very thrilled. As a reward they gave Joe and Frank $ 1000. Mr. and Mrs. Applegate apologised to Mr. Robinson. They increased his salary as he was working there. The Hardy Boys had solved their first case!

The Great Omani Coastal Route

Route 15 : Muscat-Nizwa The parents, seemingly forever, had been planning a trip to Oman. Why Oman? Well, that’s a question I asked myself too. My dad, in the 90s, spent close to a decade in the UAE but barring a work trip, had never visited Oman. Fast forward to the 21 st century, countless Oman Air flights from India to Europe later, he found himself stranded in Muscat. A ‘technical difficulty’ they said. He visited the Sultan Qaboos Mosque but didn’t get to see much more – it was only a 24-hour layover. However, the constant propaganda he was subjected to via the in-flight entertainment, and the cabin crew he made conversation with, convinced him that the country has a lot to offer. A friend from the UAE, who spoke highly of Oman, apparently also played a role. The parents had their mind set on Oman. The stars aligned and clubbing together a bunch of bank holidays in India, they decided on visiting in April. Unfortunately, or fortunately (the jury is still out), ...

Visiting the Kasturinagar (KA-03) RTO - a tumultuous but manageable experience to get a Learner's/ Driver's License without an agent/ driving school

Ask anyone, and I can guarantee that they will have a story (and in most cases, many stories) about their trip, or rather, numerous trips to the RTO for something as simple as getting a Learner's License (LL) or a Driver's License (DL). In this blog, I hope to make your life a tad bit easier by guiding you through the entire process, which may seem easy at first but is full of (overcome able) challenges if you know what you are doing. I turned 18 in January this year, and besides cutting a cake, I worked on my LL application online. I challenged myself to complete the entire LL to DL process by myself and without the help of an agent or a driving school, unlike what the majority do. The lengthy application process and multiple visits to the RTO, impressed upon me why most people decided to pay a little extra to get an agent to do it for them. Still, I was determined not to pay a single rupee more than the official cost. I succeeded. Do note that this answer is concerning the K...

Beating the winter blues - Morocco

After having spent just over two months in England, with short trips to America’s east coast on work and Paris for Diwali, I was itching to travel somewhere new – somewhere I hadn’t been before. I found myself in one of the study rooms at university, unable to focus on my readings. Winter was setting in. The days were getting shorter, London was getting greyer, and the sun had gone into hibernation. An important question was running in my mind – one that would determine how I would overcome the impending winter blues – what will I do during the Christmas break? A typical international student’s response would be simple – book a return ticket to your home country. However, as a seasoned international student, my response had to be different, right? With a not-so-powerful passport in hand, I grappled with my options. Limited by choices of visa-regime friendly choices, I first laid out a bunch of criteria for an anti-winter blues holiday of choice. I wanted three thing...

Living life out of a suitcase

December 2022 As I sit on my fourteenth flight for the year, with two more scheduled before the curtains are drawn on 2022 (god bless my carbon footprint), laptop open, a glass of wine and a blank word document, I begin to ponder over my journey over the last few months. Penning it down and (at the risk of sounding philosophical) ‘reflecting’ on this journey seems imperative. --- May 2022 After two wonderful years of ups and downs in Le Havre (thank you, COVID-19!), I said my good-byes, packed my bags and was on the train to Paris. But that was not my final destination – for now at least. After spending two nights at a friend’s, dropping my baggage off at a relative’s, catching the French Open and a round of golf in the middle, and a train to Beauvais (an hour north of Paris), I was on a flight to Barcelona. Checked in to my hostel, met my friend, went for 3 days of the Barcelona Formula 1 Grand Prix together, watched a Redbull 1-2 finish, celebrated with beer, sangr...

Cake Models

My sister taught me how to make cake models. It is very easy. If you want to learn how to make it continue reading my blog. Materials required: 1/4 mug water Powder 2 Bowls cloth clay Kumkum Newspaper Powder Make the clay any shape you want. (remember that is going to be the shape of your cake). Make it flat at the bottom so that it can stand well. Take the kumkum and powder and mix well. Make sure it is not too thick or not too watery. Spread the mixture on the cake and design the cake however you want. You can experiment by using different things to change the colours.

My New Cycle Horn

I have got a new cycle horn that makes a very loud sound. It scares people on the road and they move. I put it on my cycle because people in my apartment don’t move when cycles come. So I got this idea. People love my horn and everybody touches it. It makes and pom-pom sound. Here is a picture of the horn:
